1. 1辯證法、辯證

    Dialectic is a method of looking for the truth by putting two opposite ideas next to each other and talking them through until you reach a fuller answer that can hold both. It began as Greek classroom talk — asking and answering — and later became a big word in philosophy (you will hear it with Hegel, and in Marxist writing). It belongs to university essays and serious discussion, not to everyday chat. You can use it as a noun (the dialectic of the argument) and, less often, as an adjective; is the usual adjective. Though actually, people sometimes stretch it to mean “any back-and-forth quarrel,” which is thinner than the philosophers meant.

組成From Greek dialektikḗ, the art of argument by question and answer, from the same “speak through / speak with” as dialect and dialogue. It came through Latin and French.
